Our car is a "race-car" but as Mr. Cantwell points out, it is still "streetable." In order to compete in the Targa rallies the car has to pass the most basic street legal rules. However, the A/C has been pulled, air bags removed, cats deleted. It has been fitted with racing seats and...

Kendall- The AP kits come standard with a Mintex Xtreme Motorsport pad. They are a very good pad that (as stated by Shadowman) work very well when hot or cold. They are definitely not a "track only" pad but they also have a higher temperature rating than most comparible street pads. We do...

Hey Guys, I just thought I would jump in here and add some more information. I know it's raising a dead thread but figured the information might be helpful to some. The front splitter was designed to increase down force on the front of the car. With that being said, we do not recommend this...

Beautiful car and amazing photos! My favorite is the last picture in the third set with the AP Racing logo on the calipers peeking through the wheels!

Unfortunately we won't be attending this year's rally but I would like to offer some thoughts for those of you who are going to be there. We prepare a lot of track cars for customer's and for ourselves and there are a few simple rules we follow before any car heads out to any sort of track. 1)...

We are working on a very unique way of tackling the issue of moving items and clothing with the Ford GT. We are going to be done in a couple of months. Some people will absolutely hate us, others will be very interested. We already have some pre-orders. That is all for now...

I am a big fan of Adam's car care products. I've been using Adam's exclusively for about five years and carrying the product for about 9 or 10 months. In my opinion it is the easiest to use and still offers an amazing shine. With that being said, if you don't trust your detailer to properly...

Very cool picture John, looking forward to seeing you in October! I forgot to mention in my emails that I will be attending Targa this year afterall! In regards to the weather in New Zealand. The old saying is, "if you don't like the weather, wait ten minutes." It is true that some parts of...

Hi Kevin! I'm glad to hear you are enjoying your Mintex pads. Those were actually the Mintex Extreme Motorsport pads that we set you up with a couple years ago. We use them quite frequently on our big brake kits as they offer very good street performance and can stand up to some pretty high...

These new Mintex pads are on the dustier side. If an owner is looking for a pad that offers minimal dust then these won't be the best option. However, minimal dust and great track performance, do not generally go together. If an owner is comfortable with swapping out pads for the street and...

Ralphie- These would be for the O.E. Brembos. We do have them available for the AP's already but the brembos would require a special cut.

During the 2006 Targa rally we used a brake pad that was a good track pad but was not very friendly for us on the commuter stages and did not perform well in the morning when cold. In 2008 we returned with the Mintex F6R brake pads which are very similar to the Pagid RS29 for those of you...

The guys at Technosquare do some terrific work! We have a few of their parts on our GT R and I can't wait to see what they come up with for the Ford GT. Not only is their dry carbon fiber some of the best I've ever seen, it is incredibly durable! The hood on our GT R only weighs 7 pounds...

I don't know if any city/state compares to Irvine, CA. The cops in my old city (recently moved to Costa Mesa) were absolutely ridiculous. In my old truck I was only ever pulled over when I was not moving. The two times that I was pulled over in that truck I was sitting at the red stop light...

We do have a couple of Mustangs that would be fun to take up there. They have never been to the track and have not been sorted so they wouldn't be competitive but it's always a good time! I might try to convine Steve to let me take one of them!

Their facility is about a mile down the street from ours. If you'd like I'd be happy to go down there and look at a car for you.

We had a really good time at this event and we plan on going back next year. Unfortunately the tires we were running aren't very good but the Dunlop's that we wanted were out of stock in North America so we had no other choice. We'll head back next year with the GT R and some Dunlops and we...

Watching the speed tv coverage and they just gave acknowledgement to the ford gt forum and owners at the race right now! They even called out Ajb by his full name. Unfortunately all this while the car won't restart after a pit stop...best of luck to matech!!!

Sounds good Brian! By the way, how's that Suburban running? 1) Soroush? 2) 2112? 3) BM Socal 4) ? 5) ? 6) ? 7) ? 8) ? 9) ? 10) ?

Back in the 80's Steve went to Arizona for an indy lights race. He noticed that Dan Gurney's cars had one valve stem on the outside of the wheel and another on the inside...He walked up to Mr. Gurney and asked "Hey, what's the deal with the two valve stems." Immediately Dan held his finger...
